Ran this change with hammerdb on a power 8 firestone
with 2 socket, 20 core 9.6 base -- 451991 NOPM 0926_master -- 464385 NOPM 11_04master -- 449177 NOPM 11_04_patch -- 431423 NOPM -- two socket patch is a little down from previous base runs
With one socket 9.6 base -- 393727 NOPM v10rc1_base -- 350958 NOPM 11_04master -- 306506 NOPM 11_04_patch -- 313179 NOPM -- one socket 11_04 master is quite a bit down from 9.6 and v10rc1_base -- the patch is up a bit over the base
Net -- the patch is about the same as current base on two socket, and on one socket -- consistent with your pgbench (?) findings
As an aside, it is perhaps a worry that one socket is down over 20% from 9.6 and over 10% from v10rc1
